“Priscilla, you’re quitting? But I told you about Very Casual Fridays.”

(by Joe Ayella)

My original caption: “Miss Baxter, send in a sacrificial virgin!”

Congratulations, Joe Ayella, on your fourth victory. The first time you won was not that long ago, in Contest No. 214. Well done — and once again you can let the world know that you are one of the funniest people around!

Here are the other caption submissions that “almost made it”:

“It looks like Jack the Stripper has struck again.” (also by Joe Ayella)

“Meeting in ten minutes. Come as you are.” (by Michael Lomazow)

“Miss Stevens, is my ‘Naked and Afraid’ audition on my schedule?” (by Rich Wolf)

“Doris . . . please stop telling clients that ‘I’ll give them the shirt off my back’!” (by Lee Lacewell)

“Oh, I forgot about that appointment. I’ve been very forgetful, lately.” (by Pat Foley)

“Looks like I failed my audition for Naked and Afraid.” (by Kelly Nagle)

“Ms. Jones, what does this note mean, ‘Come quick, we need a laugh’?” (by Scott Malcolm)

Contest No 238 will show up right here before you know it, Captioneers. Keep up the funny work, because we could all use a good laugh or two these days. Thanks for participating!

Contest No. 237 starts right now.

Here are the details: I’ll supply a drawing of one of my old cartoons that has never been published, leaving off my caption. You are invited to supply your funniest captions. To enter, simply (1) click on “See Comments and Add Your Own”. Then (2) scroll down past any other submitted captions and type your name and your caption in the spaces provided. Then (3) click “Save”. There is no charge to submit captions, and the only prize is the honor of being one of the funniest people around.

Your caption (or captions) will be posted after I review your submission. However, no captions at all will be posted for the first few days of each contest. This will give everybody a chance to submit their spontaneous, gut-instinct caption without fear of discovering that it was ripped off by somebody else’s similar spontaneous, gut-instinct caption. Every posted caption has an indication of the date and time it was received. This is an equal opportunity contest!

There is no limit on the number of captions you may enter, but I will only post and consider the first 15 captions from any contestant. Entries will be accepted and posted for one week, after which the winning caption will be announced and printed and I will also reveal my original caption. I am the sole judge and the winning caption will be the one I deem to be the funniest one submitted (not necessarily the one that matches or comes closest to my original caption).

The cut-off time and date for you to send in your captions is midnight Wednesday, April 8, 2026.

Below is the drawing that needs your funny captions. Good luck, Captioneers!

“No, the answer is not two and two fifths!”

(by Lee Lacewell)

My original caption: “No, this is not a case of ‘one solution fits all’.”

Congratulations, Lee Lacewell, on your third victory! The first was in Contest No. 202 and you followed that up with a win in Contest No. 224. You get all the bragging rights that go with your well-deserved victory, so once again you can let the world know that you are one of the funniest people around.

Here are the other submitted captions that were being seriously considered for top honors:

“I’m afraid ‘inflation’ is not an excuse.” (by Joe Ayella)

“NO, BILLY . . . five is not now, nor will it ever be . . . ‘the new four’!” (also by Lee Lacewell)

“This is arithmetic, not economics.” (by Jonathan Stein)

“Is this your final answer?” (by Diane Weisman)

“Math may not be your strong suit but you get an ‘A’ for penmanship.” (by Gary)

“No, you don’t get a participation prize.” (also by Joe Ayella)

“Mathematically, no. Politically, very promising.” (by Anya)

“Actually, it IS an exact science.” (by Rich Wolf)

“Have you thought about going into politics?” (by Paul Nesja)

Contest No. 237 will pop up here before you know it, Captioneers, so keep a watchful eye out for it and please keep those funny captions coming.
